searching your own posts?
I know the "search threads" feature on BF is not great and you are better off doing a google search with Bikeforums.net in the search, that has worked well for me when I am looking for a bike or topic.
Today I had 2 occasions where I wanted to share a post or thread I had previously made, that had helpful information, but could not find them. I tried searching my user name + Bikeforums.net + Seatpost removal or Dura Ace pedals, but no luck. No searches brought up any of my posts. Of course I could not remember the actual title of the posts, But I have only posted about "Seatposts" or Dura Ace so many times. Any suggestions?

Bike Forums "Advanced Search" has always worked fine for me. Enter the topic word or words under "Search by Keyword(s)" (choosing "Titles Only") and enter your Bike Forums name under "Search by Use Name."

I was hoping I was missing something, and I could search within "my posts", does not seem to be the case
